hey... ive just been given a metallic green 1979 skyline and i was just wondering wat they are worth stock standard. it is a auto and is in pretty good condition (in shed most of its life) the paint has faded for some reason though. the interior is also in pretty good condition aswell i am debating weither to leave it stock and maybe sell it, or do some work to it and actually use it as my car, as i will be getting my P plates soon. also any tips on getting the original paint colour back?? ;D

IMO, keep it. does it have some history within your family? It's always nice to have a sentimental car.
If you're getting your licence soon then get it on the road, do a auto to manual swap because autos are a tad rubbish and have a semi unique 1st car instead of a commonwhore or falcon(sorry guys, i have no witty name for them)
as for the paint, buffer would be the best bet but remember it is an old car.

yeh it got passed on to me from my grandfather, so yeh i suppose it is sentimental um yeh i think i might put a manual in it as my dad was a mecanic at nothern motors back in those days some info on wat manual gearboxes can go in them and if anybody has one that they would be interested in selling would be great... also im after some cheap magz that would fit on it to tidy it up a bit... down the track i might respray it the same colour it is now ill put some photos up of it soon...

G'day! well done on getting a c210. i would keep it 100% stock if i was you! will be worth a lot more in a few more years. If you want one to modify that i can sell you one of mine that has already been changed from standard.
